Dedicated to my fellow writers in We Create who inspired this.

It was finally time to write. Something that Alexa looked forward too each and every day. She placed her hands over the keyboard, resuming her already too long story. Her fingers flew over the keys, never stopping until..."Ding!" It was a message from one her friends. "Ding!" Another message...probably from a group chat. "Ding! Ding!" 

Alexa closed out of her book, then opened up the chat. Her friends were texting about some nonsense or other, probably a movie. "Ding! Ding! Ding!" Alexa started her throat close up. "Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!" She clawed at her throat, trying to open it up but with every passing ding it just closed tighter. She tried to text stop but Alexa had lost control of her hands. "Ding! Ding! Ding!" Stop! Sto- she slumped over her keyboard, dead ears listening to her friends texting.
